DJ DB405 starts “Check” off with a high energy intro on this vibey collaboration with Parris Chariz.

“Check” sees Parris, in tongue in cheek fashion, sharing that he’s worked hard enough to earn 2 types of checks… one with zeroes and another on his Instagram profile. In the first verse he details how he turned his life around. He’s moved past selling drugs, old girlfriends, and is now making music for God. His new focus is on bettering himself and not worrying about what people think.

In the second verse he goes in about labels not seeing the longevity in his music. He will keep pushing forward until it’s undeniable. Parris wants to offer a positive alternative to music people hear every day. More importantly, he wants to help them choose life over death.

“Hot Boy Lit” by Dre Beeze of God Mafia Records is an inspirational hood banger. The song is about being on fire for God and being filled with the Holy Spirit. Check it out and let us know what you think. Spread The Soup!

Flipside is the first single from K. Sparks collaborative album with producer Es-K entitled Urban Couture. “The song discusses the various positive and always negative alternatives in life. But most importantly always placing things into perspective. Es-K and I produced this song, in addition to John Culbreth playing trumpet”. The album took two years to complete due to containing live instrumentation from various musicians from several locations. Fusions of Jazz, Neo Soul & Hip-Hop can all be traced within various layers of the project. Urban Couture will be released on October 15, 2017, and is now available for pre order. Vinyl available soon.

The Plug is a song about being “connected” to the source who gives life. A lot of people are unaware that they have to be connected to the plug to get any type of power or energy. Kevi & Joey are two young up and coming artists who are deeply involved in the culture of hip-hop and the culture around them. They eagerly look forward to connecting people to truth, which comes from God. These two understand that you have to walk it like they talk it and to do that they have to meet people where they are in life. The plug connects and serves a vital purpose to the source. Get Plugged! So, let us know what you think. Spread The Soup!

Life is hard. We all know it, and anyone who’s experienced it beyond a few years would agree. We make mistakes, and we often do or say things that make life even harder for us at times. “Son Shine” is a reflection of that, and the emotional ups and downs that come along with those poor choices at times in life. The good news is, we’re given grace for those mistakes, and “Son Shine” is a rallying cry to receive grace in our lives.

Change shares, “I knew I wanted Datin on this song as soon as Cephas sent me the beat. I knew it would give us the chance to vibe off something we’ve talked about for years, and we’ve often held each other up through. That’s my mans, and I knew this would be perfect for us to cook on this topic.”

With a powerful chorus and transparent lyricism that almost anyone can relate to, “Son Shine” is the type of song you put on during a rough morning while driving to work, or coming home from a long day at school, etc… It’s a great way to lift your outlook, and know that you aren’t alone in your situation, whatever it may be.
